THE CRIME TO BE UNEARTHBD.

The United States grand jury yesterday
made their report the tally-sheet forgery
cases. and returned true indictments against
sons are said to have been indicted. This
action is the result of thorough and careful
investigation of the case by a grand jury
whose intelligence and honesty is beyond
question. The investigation has been
Quoted under difficulties, but the jury was
equal to the task, and has made clean and
thorough work of it. The result marks
red-letter day in the history of the city and
the State. 1t is triumph for law, and for
purity in elections, the result of which will
be far-reaching and permanent. 1t is notice
to the world that the election laws
are not a dead letter in Indiana
and cannot be violated with impunity It is
worth a great deal to the city to have it go out
that the perpetrators of these frauds, after
defying the law and battling justice for six
months have at last been indicted and brought
face to face with their crime. Great credit is
due to the Citizens Committee of One Hun
dred who have been untiring in the perform
of their duty, and to all who have
encouraged and aided them. No doubt the
grand jury have simply done what the solemn
obligation of their oaths required, but never
theless they deserve credit and praise for duty
well done. Warrants of arrest against the
indicted persons will probably be issued to-
day

Whether the gang reckoned without their host
can better be told when the indictments
are pleaded to and argued before
the court But just now it is enough
to know that the grand jury ordered
indictments, and the district attorney has
prepared them, presumably in accordance
with law and justice. The Journal is informed
that District Attorney Sellers is not amenable
to adverse criticism for either his action or
failure to act in connection with the election
cases. The result thus far shows that he has
done his duty fairly as an 6ficer of the law.

no crimnality involved contemplated.
If the action of General Carnahan was an
offense against the law, il was merely tech
nical one, involving no guilt. The report
goes that the district attorney has laid him
self out in preparing the indictment against
Carnahan. Further comment must await a
revelation of facts. So far as the Journal is
concerned, we want no guilty to escape,
40 matter what his politics may be; but it is
proper to say at once and now, that no Repub-
lican, and, least of all, General Carnahan, had
any connection with the tally-sheet forgeries

bons wrote to my friend, Rev. DIR. Burtsel with
whom Cardinal Gibbons had some communi-
cation on the subject of DR.. McGlynn's case. in
forming him of the Pope's desire. DR.. Burtsell
answered Cardinal Gibbons by saying that DR..
McGlynn would no doubt cheerfully accept the
invitation soon as his health would permit, if
the outrage and injustice that had been in hcted
upon him through the blunders and the illegal
action of Archbishop Corrigan should be first re-
paired by the removal of his suspension and his
reinstatement. and that it would be preposter-

Tt Is also reported that indictments were re-
turned against James r. Carnahan and w L.
Burroughs. It is understood that the United
States attorney has put much labor upon the
Carnahan Indictment It is about four feet long.
The charge is the issuing of a circular preceding
the November election to the Republican judges
OF election, instructng them to secure one set OF
poll books and tally-sheets. 1t seems that this.
under the United States statute. is unlawful. AS
1t is the office of-the inspector of election to take
care OF both sets of papers. In consequence or
the Carnahan circular, the Republican judges
demanded the poll books and tally sheets in
number of cases. and the offense of W. T. Bur-
roughs is understood to have been that of fol-
lowing out the instruction of the circular.
There can be no change OF venue in any OF
these cases. but an appeal can be taken. That
appeal will have to be to Judge Gresham It
will be remembered that Judge Woods in the
course of his charge to this grand jury. founded
his present view of the particularly upon
some statements that had been made by Judge
Gresham in his ruling in the Perkins case.
There is nothing in Judge Woods present view
of the case which is inconsistent with the opin-
ion in the Perkins case. Lit Judge Gresham
should agree with Judge Woods in the latter's
present view he could do without having to take
ANYTHING back. In other words, it is entire
ly different case and the indictments
upon different basis This state of affairs
would indicate that the indicted persons Will
have little to make by appeal to Judge
Gresham.
That the jury that has returned these indict-
ments were pretty much of one mind is shown
by the report that sixteen OF the nineteen jurors
-one having been excused by reason of sickness
in his family-were of one mind and that they
did not as expected by the conspirators and

lines. There but twelve Republicans

CHICAGO, May 20.-The Star, the organ of the
Knights of Labor of this city, publishes this
evening secret circular lately issued by the In
ternational Workmen's Protective Association
in reference to the forming of small o-ganiza-
tons throughout the city for the purpose of
''overturning the whole social fabric" The Star
says:
''That the horrfying of the Haymarket
massacre which took place that memorable
night one year ago this month, are shortly to be
eenacted is fact which will establish itself
clearly in the minds of everyone when it becomes
generally known that the Reds and Anarchists
are recognizing their forces throughout the
city. Secret meetings held nightly, and in
cendiary speeches delivered by who as
utterly devoid of principle as only genuine An
archisr can be. just where and at what hour
these meetings are being held cannot at present
be determined. but that revolutionary measures
being adopted by the International
Workmen's Protective Association is an undeni-
able fact The utmost secresy is observed. and
to escape the fear of detection only six mem bers
allowed to be present at any one meeting,
: thus avoiding all suspicion which would be
casioned by the gathering of crowd. Disre-
garding the fate of their so-called martyred
comrades, they contemplating plan of or
ganization and attack which will inevitably
bring about repetition of the scenes enacted at
the Haymarket On the 4th day of last May"
The secret circular which the Star publishes
is addressed to all members of the International
Workmen's Protective Association and urges
the following plan of organization:
mo group to exceed five in number After
the FIRST five organized let tn EN- select a
trail organizer and separate again. each indiv i'd
ual starting another group of his own, number
ing FIVE By this system, never moro than six
will come together. The organizer alone be
comes familiar with the twenty five. So, on and
on, until the city is hoheycombed with groups,
into which detective cannot penetrate beyond
very limited length"
The circular concludes with these words:
Toward our despoilers we owe no love; we
claim pity. we extend no olive branch. Time
presses. The necessity is urgent"
The Star says:
1T is alleged that the most rabid members OF
the organization are in favor of providing them
selves with bombs and other implements of hell
ish warfare. Prominent members of the inter
national order known to be in constant and
secret communication with Herr Most the
Anarchist leader in New York. Under his ad-
vice a concentration of all the forces is now on
foot in this city and elsewhere and the fact that
a most damnable plot is contemplated cannot be
denied. This movement has been foot for
some time past. but the utmos: secrecy has
been observed. it not until to-day that the
above facts leaked out"
